Dwarfism and a fantasy Dwarf are two different things all together. In fantasy a Dwarf is a race of people, where dwarfism comes from the human race that can happen to anyone that have the right genes. I don’t think I really ever heard of the two being compared before. It is like and unwritten law that it is known that they are not one in the same. As for the the body shape of a fantasy dwarf, there are many to choose from. Your fairy tale dwarf(Snow White and the likes) are in ways just a small version of a human. Your fantasy dwarf is a barreled chested, broad shoulder, strong armed, battle ready, with short legs race. I could go on for ever on this subject, but I will leave it at that. All and all it goes with who ever is writing the story or drawing the picture.
